The facts.
DescriptionThe whole story▼
A Tracer 7 spends its summer doing the hardest thing a middleweight twin is ever asked to do: two people, full luggage, a hot afternoon and a mountain pass that goes on for an hour. That is sustained load rather than peak load, and it is the condition in which a restricted intake stops being a technicality. The engine is not being asked for its highest number, it is being asked for the same mid-range answer several thousand times in a row. The Sprint Filter P08 CM148S is a drop-in element for the standard airbox that keeps that answer consistent between services instead of letting it drift.
Key Features
- Heat changes nothing: the dry P08 polyester is never oiled, so nothing migrates onto the intake sensors
- 80 microns filtration, 5,050 litres per square metre per second of airflow
- The filtering surface is roughly double that of other performance filters
- Serviced with compressed air, on the road or at home; washable and reusable
- It replaces the standard element in the standard airbox — no modification, no remap
- Built to last the life of the motorcycle
Loaded and hot is a different duty cycle
Touring weight changes what the engine does all day. Gear ratios that feel relaxed when solo are used harder two-up, throttle openings are larger and held longer, and underbonnet temperatures climb because the bike is often moving slowly uphill rather than quickly along a motorway. Every one of those conditions asks more air per minute through the same element. A loaded filter costs the least where it is least noticed — at the top of the rev range — and the most in the transient mid-range roll-on the rider is actually using to overtake a caravan on a climb.
High annual mileage changes the arithmetic
Sport-touring bikes are among the highest-mileage motorcycles on the road, and on the standard schedule that means an air element consumed regularly for the life of the bike. Sprint Filter design the P08 to last the life of the motorcycle: the element is cleaned rather than replaced, which turns a recurring line on the service invoice into a task with an air line. It also removes a small planning problem on a long trip, since there is nothing to source in a town where the nearest Yamaha dealer is a day away.
Care and cleaning
Compressed air goes in on the clean side and out through the element, and that is the whole of the usual service. When more is needed, wash it in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and rinse until the water runs clear. Let it dry completely in open air, never with heat and never with a flame, then refit it dry. At no point in its life is it oiled. You will find the Sprint Filter maintenance sheet under Downloads.
Fitment & Compatibility
Made for the Yamaha Tracer 7, 2016 to 2026. The same CM148S element fits seven machines built around this airbox — the MT-07 and FZ-07, XSR 700, YZF-R7 and the XTZ 690 Tenere among them; the complete list is in the Fitment tab.
